1227	Original/Signed/Unsigned Integer Variant Selection Templates	Daryle Walker	Daryle Walker	"Add new integer selection templates to ""boost/integer.hpp"" for
  *  The underlying type for a given integral type.  This could be called `underlying` and would map
    *  `char` to whichever of {`signed char`, `unsigned char`} that shares the same values (section 3.9.1, paragraph 1 of the 2003 C++ standard)
    *  `wchar_t` to its underlying type (paragraph 5 of the same part of the standard)
    *  any other type to itself (This includes `bool` because it could be implemented distinctly from any other integral type.)
    *  (Someday: extend this to find the underlying type of an enumeration)
  *  Find the unsigned equivalent of a given signed integral type, like the `get_unsigned` examples at source:/tags/Version_1_34_1/boost/boost/typeof/int_encoding.hpp and source:/tags/Version_1_34_1/boost/boost/wave/util/flex_string.hpp
  *  Find the signed equivalent of a given unsigned integral type, as a dual to the previous point (for both templates, non-matching types return themselves)"	Feature Requests	new	To Be Determined	integer		Not Applicable
